Having just recieved this record today I've got to sit down and write a few words about it! An insight into the beginnings of a truly great band consisting of the previously released but hard to come by singles "Lee Remick" and "People Say" and nine other songs, the latter recorded in Roberts bedroom in Brisbane. Though poor in sound quality there is no hiding the warmth and charm in these songs. The Go Betweens were always more about personality than actual musical skills. That is not to say that the playing is bad on the contrary it sounds very tight and fresh but technique was never an issue. Personality and style was. What a rare quality!

5.0 out of 5 stars if you don't love this album, you are on crack, June 24, 1999

this is one of the greatest albums i have ever heard by the go-betweens (or anyone for that matter). the recordings are raw and honest, the songs make you want to sing along. everything else i have heard by this band sounds nothing like the lost album. i don't know why those other people who reviewed this album are whining about the sound of the recording. if you love retro-rock and roll garagy pop songs, this one is for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars In the beginning, January 10, 2007

This is a wonderful first time pop album. To see the Go-betweens as very young men playing in their apartment while knowing their long musical history culminating in Grant McClennan's death is very touching. These two are true artists.
